I bought a new Hoover carpet washer from amazon, used it once and stored in the basement for a few months. The second time I went to use it I plugged it in, turned it on and the plug started arcing and sparking. After a few seconds the wire separated from the plug, leaving the plug still in the outlet. The outlet and wall were both covered in black soot and room was filled with a smokey haze of burt electrical and plastic. The house breaker did not trip. There was no extension to the house or personal injury. Hoover Techtronic floor care technology limited Model FH50150 Mfg. Code - J 16C AT

I had prepared the spot clean for use as per the instructions. I plugged it into my wall and turned on the power button. I started to use the hose vaccuum and pressed/held the soap water button on the hose. Sparks and flames and a loud buzzing noise shot out of the vents under the waste water collection side. There was a bad burning smell. I pushed the power to turn off and unplugged.

while using it, it was heating up very fast, like boiling, and during use burning smell was coming out. and it didnt clean nothing

Purchased a Bissell Proheat2x. Used one time, two months later attempted to use again when a smell of a rubber fire filled the room. I shut it off within seconds. I then examined the machine and realized my two brush bars were frozen. I took off the bar guard to see if I could determine what the issue was. It was then that I realized the bar that drives the belts was rusted stiff. I spent several minutes calling the Bissell 800 help line. They referred me to a service center that was two states away. Non the less I spent another few minutes calling the service center. When I returned to the machine after speaking with the service center, I realized the machine was still smoking. I then took the machine outside.

Hoover Power Dash Pet carpet shampooer experience loud noise in June, replaced belt and motor burning with large amount of smoke on 7/24/22. We almost doused it with water thinking it might flame even after unplugging it. Tried reaching out to Hoover online chat service twice and it never connected.

I recently bought a 1500 watt steam cleaner kit from Harbor freight with the logo name on the box central machinery. While using the product with the attachments the handle would become so hot it made my skin red and would burn. It would take 10 minutes for the handle to cool off until it could be used again. With the handle being so hot I was unable to use the lock function on the handle as instructed when the machine is on and not in use. Without the attachment the handle became warm. The hose in the machine also would become hot during use which would cause discomfort if your leg or other body surfaces would come in contact with it. When using the window squeegee attachment and other attachments hot water would expel from the handle and attachment connection zone hitting my arms and hands. The handle also got hot during this time. I read the handbook multiple times to ensure I was attaching correctly. I believe the product i received is faulty. Most online reviews for this product do not report this issue. I plan to return this product later this week for refund due to risk of severe burn by either hot plastic or water would Have occurred if I continued use.

I was using a Hoover Steamvac carpet cleaner on our livingroom carpet when the machine suddenly began to buzz and emit white smoke. I turned the On/Off switch to Off but the machine continued to buzz, and billow large amounts of smoke. I ran to the outlet and unplugged it but the unit had become extremely hot very, very quickly and scorched the carpet beneith where it malfunctioned. I carried the machine outdoors where it continued to smoke for almost ten minutes.

the safety latch that allows the steam cleaner to recline suddenly broke while I was carrying the empty unit up a flight of stairs and causing the unit to suddenly buckle backwards. I was able to jump out of the way of the flying handle, but it could have caused a serious injury to a child or animal. This was the very first time that this product had been used. A similar thing happened at the appliance retailer where I work. The recline lever only catches a very small brittle piece of plastic that snapped off with the weight of the machine.
